Will I need special wiring or connectors to tap the power from the mirror? Also, did anyone use this mount on an Infinity QX56? Thank you

Yes. This is only for the mount. You can get the wiring and connect to your mirror if it has switched power or buy an add a fuse and run it to your fuse panel.

This is a mounting device only. Has nothing to do with wiring. It mounts to the mirror itself. It will mount to any mirror as its opening opens to about 2 1/2 inches. You will need to contact your radar company about wiring. They sell kits for that in which you can route to your fuse box along the top liner or your vehicle

mounts to the mirror and you will need wires to connect to the mirror. Be sure not to scratch up your mirror holder. The "mirror mount for radar" has really small yet sharp teeth to grip on to the mirror Bracket. So just a fair warning. Also it's built so well, that you could probably stop someone, from trying to high jack your car by just beating them with it.Good luck fellow amazon shopper! And remember not to speed because you can die.

fully extended the mirror exerts cosidrable strain on it's mount , I have installed ours on a backing plate that I made up, so that it would not dig into the gyprock wall that it is mounted on. as to your question I feel a dirll is definitley required.

It will fit on the factory mount. The harness will be different however. So you would have to wire up our harness to power and ground. Now, a shortcut would be for them to test the wires coming out of the factory plug and simply tap on to those wires at the mirror. Both the HomeLink and Mirror power lines would be tied together and tapped on to the 12v power of the factory mirror's harness. This is a great way to save some time. And an added benefit would be that the HomeLink would only receive power when the car is on. This adds some security when the vehicle is parked in the drive way and someone breaks into it, they couldn't then get into the garage. Thank youautopartstoys It will fit on the factory mount.

I have the GX65, and removing the detector involves unplugging the power cord and then hitting the release button on the detector to release it. It doesn't take more than a few seconds if you are in a hurry. The mount is discreet when unoccupied - I tuck the wire behind the mirror to keep it from hanging down.

There are no ways to mount the IQ506 that are "officially supported'. However, I have seen some articles online that involve drilling the back. I really *REALLY* (are you listening HP??) really wish there was a mounting kit for this.

There are two tasks required to install these components. First you need to be able to dismantle enough of the trunk and headlining to access the necessary wires. (I was able to find diagrams and videos on youtube on how to do this on my car.) Second you need to be able to solder in order to connect the power wires for the mirror display and camera unit. If you can do those things you can install it yourself. Otherwise, you can find a technician.

It all has to do with your radar detector brand and if you can access your power mirror or access power to your sun roof if you have one. The connection point at the radar is almost like a telephone clip and it should click right in and then you can tie into your power source. But again, this has to be compatible with your specific radar model. It lists the compatible models in the amazon listing. If your still unsure, contact blend mount, they will be more than helpful and can guide you through the entire process from start to finish. I searched on online forums and found a photo thread of someone doing this install photo by photo on the same car I have. I removed my over head console and sunroof button and accessed the power up behind the the lights and tied into the mirror power. Snakes it though to the front near the windshield and plugged it in. I mentioned this before in a different reaponse that the radar should NOT have power when the car is off. Good luck

Yes, the mirror/screen came with every connection necessary. You may need to have some extra wire if you need to run the power too far away from the mirror. I would also suggest the fuse jumpers that are sold at the auto store, so you can not have to rig something at the fuse box.

Yes it maybe a simple swap. I do not know if the mounting holes are in the same location, but if you have power to the back of the current mirror and do not have to drill holes in tile or other hard surface, it should be a simple swap.Cathy

You probably read my review about mounting to power mirrors only. The side view mirror clamps to the mirror housing. If glass "floats" inside your housing them the side view mirror will work. If the glass and the housing are one piece, then the side view mirror will not be attachable.

Does the monitor have to be connected to 12V with the clumsy cigarette lighter plug? I want to wire the monitor to a 12V source other than the cig lighter. Dows anyone have any experience with wiring the monitor directly to a 12V source such as the vanity mirror?

It supposed to be support power mirrors. But mine doesn't work. We couldn't match the holes....however when I ask others, some of them said their mirror works good for automatically.

These mirrors will work however you will lose the ability to use the "power extend". You will have to get out and manually slide these out. All other features will work though

Yes, my mirror came with an attached connecting cable and connector that mates to the existing connector beneath the door panel. You do have to remove the interior door panel to get access to this connector. The connector that came with the mirror was an exact fit to to the connector inside the door panel.

Doesn't necessarily have to directly connect to the mirror. I have mine connected to my sun roof power. Mine is routed up the mirror back, but mine is powered since its auto dimming, etc.Look up mirror tap installation for your car. I found a forum with detailed photos of the install for my 04 Acura TL. Worked great and I've had zero issues since install over a year ago.

I installed mine on an Eton Matrix 150. It is threaded onto the mirror stem. The mounting hardware included the necessary threaded parts to mount the windshield. I really like it. I think mirrors are pretty standard on most scooters.

Nope. It's strictly a mount that clamps on to your mirror stem. So this does nothing to power the detector and for that you'll either have to run a wire or tap into your mirror's power.
